Charlotte Moore has made her first statement hire since quitting the BBC to join The Crown producer Left Bank.
The new Left Bank CEO has hired Baby Reindeer exec Matt Jarvis as an Executive Producer and Acting Creative Director, covering Sian McWilliams’ maternity leave.
Reporting to Moore, Jarvis will help develop a Left Bank slate that includes the BBC’s upcoming Dear England, Outlander spin-off Blood of My Blood, and Netflix’s Department Q Season 2, the latter of which is Moore’s first Left Bank producer credit. Jarvis, who joins from BBC Studios-owned Clerkwenwell Films, will also help develop new projects.

Smash Netflix series Baby Reindeer was Jarvis’ signature credit at Clerkenwell but he was also development executive on BAFTA-winning Channel 4 drama Misfits and EP on the BBC’s Cheaters.
Moore labeled him “one of the most talented executives in the UK TV industry” with a “track record of extraordinary successes.”
Jarvis added: “Fuelled by Andy Harries’ creative vision and business instinct, Left Bank Pictures has established itself as one of the world’s leading producers of high-end television shows.”
Jarvis joins at a time of change for the Sony indie following Moore’s shock hire from the BBC, where she held the leading job in British TV for nearly a decade. She joined as founder Andy Harries segued to become executive chair, and has taken on a dual role running Left Bank alongside being creative director of international production at Sony Pictures Television.
